Like Los Chicos, Los Chamos was formed after the success of Menudo in the 1980s. The members of Los Chamos were Gabriel, Walter, Winston, Wuill and Argenis. Los Chamos had considerable success in Venezuela, Mexico and other parts of Latin America. In Mexico alone, they sold over two million albums and made a movie.
Despite their popularity, Los Chamos ultimately could not take Menudo off the top spot in popularity, but they had some big hits, including their trademark song, Canta Chamo, which made the charts in Puerto Rico, Venezuela and other places.
